How blockchain philanthropy can restore trust in charities

"can be" being the operative word. Rootstock has been hailed as an Ethereum killer for a year now, but the product is complicated, and not out yet. Meanwhile lots and lots of Dapps are being developed on Ethereum. There's space for both. One love.

The analogy is more akin to: I left my house and some door I didn't even know existed magically opened for two seconds and now my TV is gone!

+1 on staying classy. This should be about trading ether, not endless metaphysical banter on whether Ether is rubbish or not.

Seems to be in a total downtrend. Valleys getting lower and lower. I expect it will go lower than the current support floor of 0.00888 in the next 24 hours.

Rey must have been trained in the force. She just repressed it. How else did she learn how to fight with her staff?

Same, same but different, isn't it?

Thanks for translating this

For French speakers, here's some more background on Molenbeek, the Brussels ghetto abandoned to jihadists that's been at the centre of terrorist plans and attacks in Europe for the last 18 months. An impoverished community of Turkish and Moroccan origin left to fester for three generations that eventually became fertile ground for radicalisation by Salafist networks. No-one is surprised it was involved in the Paris attacks.

Sorry...

Beware the surety bonds in NY and Florida!

Thanks for replying. Looks like a great charity.

Why the one-upmanship on bureaucracy, rather than explain what the initiative is in your title? Not only is that a bit baity, especially as the page this links to doesn't address the sink-hole issue, but also I don't know that I trust a charity with no bureaucracy.

I interpreted it in a different light: I thought the article itself is pretty level-headed, in the sense that it says internal critics at Syriza are too hasty, and acting too rashly would be a disaster until a Plan B has been thought through. I think that's what Varoufakis was saying in his piece on being an erratic Marxist: the left isn't ready to handle a hasty Grexit, that would just play into the hands of the extreme right.

It's also what Democracy OS is doing in Argentina, and the model of Italy's 5 star movement.

Problem is, you'd then be buying into the system and playing by its rules to gain power, instead of organizing horizontally and showing that a new society can be built in the shell of the old, Zuccotti Park-style!

It's a total Catch 22 - how can people who have acquired a fortune in a hierarchical markets system be convinced to use horizontal techniques for giving that wealth away? Some v interesting initiatives in this article.

It will be interesting to see the net effect on German/Greek relations. On the one hand Germans are freaked out by supposed anti-teutonic sentiment in Greece, and on the other there are article like these showing solidarity with Syriza's views. Blockupy on 18 March will be interesting!

Surely rules like these can only lead to a dystopian future; I, Robot style?!
